Favorite winter scenario?

[Cpt. Cook]

Mine is Elsdorf. I have played it countless times and it is always entertaining. Something cool happens nearly every time, like a 75mm infantry gun taking out three light tanks at long range.

***edit*** on second thought, it probably wasn't that long range. But still cool.

I enjoyed:

Saarburg - A Way Out
Assenois
Merry Xmas at Hemroulle
Bure

Midnight Madness at Prum.

I really enjoy "Long Cold Day."

[Cpt. Cook]

I just re-played Merry Xmas at Hemroulle. I love defending on this one. BTW, it is winter about eight months of the year where I live. Hence the post.

I tried Merry Xmas at Hemroulle yesterday myself based on it being mentioned by two of the previous posters and have to agree. It was a ton of fun. I played the defense and got a tie. It was one of the best and enjoyable scenario's I've played. As a matter of fact I'm going to play it again today. I think it would be alot of fun in a PBEM. Thanks guys for the tip. I think I'll try playing it in summer this time. I think my guys were just too cold to fight well. :D

Holding Bastogne is a lot of fun.

Assenois v1.0 - This is one of my favorite scenarios of all time. Outstanding attention to OOB & map detail, thrilling depiction of CCR's relief of Bastogne, tons of atmosphere, and the only way to win this one is to recreate the historical approach. Hell, let me correct the initial statement; this IS my favorite scenario of all time.

A Long, Cold Day - pretty fun with a few surprises in it. I think basically I include it because it was the first winter scenario I'd ever played.

[Silvio Manuel]

Thanks Agua, I'll have to try Assenois now.

[Agua]

Sure. I don't know if v1.0 is still over at the depot or not. I haven't played v2.0, and I don't know what was changed.

[lcm1947]

Yes it's still there Agua or at least I think that is where I just got it. I just started it last night after getting your recommandation and it does look really good so far. Let's see in the first 10 moves or so I managed get 5 of my vehicles knocked out all by myself so far. I am so proud of me. :D Dying to get home and playing it some more. Thanks for the tip.

I've liked pretty much all the battles mentioned above.

I'd also like to mention Rune's Assault on St. Vith, which was a memorable PBEM battle for me.

Another great one is WBW's op Team DeSobry, which I've played vs. the AI several times.

I think my favourite is Manhay on the Prowl. It's fun, not too long ( 20 turns so you can play it in under an hour ) & pretty challenging to play as the Germans.

[lcm1947]

Oh Oh my mistake. It's Assenois v2.0 that I downloaded and am presently playing. It is a lot of fun however and sure keeps you on toes. I will look for v1.0 though. Hopefully it's out there somewhere.

lcm1947 ,
check your mail. ;)

[lcm1947]

Thanks for the email Ales but I already had v2.0. It seems that that is an improved or at least changed version of it. Anyway I appreciate the effort. And yes it is by far the best scenarios I've played so far not that I've played all that much in the past 2 years. All this time I played either scenarios that I created or QB's. I am so happy I've discovered scenarios. And now here I go looking for another to get my butt kicked in. :D Oh yeah. I finished the game last night. It was a tie. But the map is just excellent. Man, a ton of work must have went into that scenario.

Bure.
Short & sweet.
